We put lib2to3 into a refactor package and kept a shell lib2to3 to support the old interface. We are able to run 2to3, 3to2, lib2to3 tests, and refactor tests. We only have a few simple 3to2 fixes now, but they should be easy to add. We kept the old lib2to3 tests to make sure we didn't break anything. As things settle down, I'd like to verify that our new lib2to3 is backward-compatible (since right now it points to the new refactor lib) with one of the external projects. We've been using hg to push changesets between each other, but we'll be committing to the svn sandbox before the week is out. I'm heading out today, but Paul is sticking around another day.
